B. r. Capitolian Advocate.
Our esteemed contemporary, the New Or-
leans Picayune, on Tuesday, takes up the po-
lice jury question again, and makes state
ment relative to the appointment OF police Ju-
rOrs in ST. Landry parish, but, as might have
been expected of those who are merely forg-
ing campaign thunder and not writing i'm
partial history, our esteemed contemporary
states Senator Fontenots side OF the question,
and leaves the evidence for the other side out.
1t is % we'll known fact that the returns of
the primary election alluded to did not show
that majority of the Democrats of this par
ish supported the plan suggested by Senator
Fontenot.
| For instance, in the Opelousas precinct of
the first ward, where there were 400 votes,
! only 1913 votes were cast of which DR. Littell
! received ll9, Mr., Lambert 3 and MIR. Price 1.
! In the second precinct of the same ward DIR.
Littell received only 3 votes and Mr.. Lam
bert 40.

/ this ward no vote was cast, showing total

votes l3 were cast for MFR. Dubonrdieu and %

In the seventh ward there are three pre-
cincts casting 500 votes. At the election
named 436 votes were cast divided as follows: ::
First precinct, Mr.. Young, lSl, and Mr.. Co
73.
The eighth ward has four precincts, cast
ing 500 votes. MIR. Homer Barousse was the
only candidate in this ward, and received 40
votes in the first precinct, % in the second, 81
in the third and 233 in the fourth; total 388.
No election was held in the ninth ward.
The returns showing these results were
made to Hon. E. D. Estiette, and by him for
ward to Gov. McEnery, as requested by Sen
ator Fontenot.
In the meantime information of reliable
character reached the Governor to the effect
that the primaries were only partial and not
satisfactory, as the returns from most OF the
wards above quoted indicate.
